Shouldn't you have your styles (and images) in your web folder. In a typical java web-app you would have them in the same folder that contains your WEB-INF folder and then reference them absolutely rather than relatively as you have done in your example.

As mentioned, all CSS and JavaScript files should be in the web content folder*. Since they're not Java source, they shouldn't be in anything called "java", because nobody would ever think to look there for non-Java resources.

* At least after deployment. Before deployment they can be anywhere you want.

alright..thanks for the response... it's all working now..after i transferred the images and stylesheets to the web folder
and did something like <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="Style/style.css" />

i still have a question though... well, if given the chance to still keep the original locations of the files (basing on the image), what's the reason why my initial code (<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../src/java/Style/style.css" />) didn't work? just wanna clear things out..
